Cervical dystonia with dystonic tremor: a modern view of the problem

Abstract

One of the important areas of modern neurology is movement disorders, due to their negative impact on the daily activity and quality of life of patients. Dystonia is the third most common extrapyramidal disease. Often, dystonia is accompanied by trembling hyperkinesis, however, known data on dystonic tremor are scattered and not systematized, and its fixation causes difficulties due to the lack of clear tremorographic characteristics. Many issues of prevalence, pathophysiology, differential diagnosis with other types of tremor, as well as the effectiveness of therapy also remain insufficiently studied. This review focuses on the literature on dystonic tremor.
